    "content": "Hi John!\n\n> I'm a very big on computer control.\n> It seems that once you find a \"free\" spot it's yours.\n> That is till someone chasing someone else crosses\n> your QSO.\n\nThis is where spreading out would come in handy.  This\nseems to be more of an issue on FO-29, where the\ngeneral convention is to adjust the 70cm downlink - by\nletting it drift down - while keeping the 2m uplink fixed.\nI see this as less of an issue on AO-7 or VO-52, where\nadjustments are generally made on the uplink if someone\nisn't running full computer control.  For AO-7 and VO-52,\nit would still help if stations would spread out a little more\nand made use of more of the space on those transponders.\n\n> I really fail to see how someone with a pair of H/T's\n> tuning and tuning and tuning can call that fun.\n\nI wish my 817s were HT-sized.  I could easily shrink the size\nof the bag I carried my gear in to and from Australia if they\nwere that small, for example if I had radio sized like the\nTH-F6A I have.  :-)\n\nMy old laptop bag that could handle laptops with 17\" LCD\ndisplays has been perfect for carrying my 817s, TH-F6A, and\nall sorts of other items I use for portable satellite operating.\nThe two 817s would go in the space where a laptop would go,\nand then there's lots of other pockets and areas for the rest\nof the stuff.  Even space to jam some non-radio stuff, to\navoid overweight charges for my checked bags.\n\nThere really isn't so much of the \"tuning and tuning and\ntuning\" you describe when working SSB via satellite.  Yes,\nminor adjustments are done with every over during a QSO\nor when making repeated CQ calls, but that's nothing\ncompared to chasing the S-band downlink when AO-51 had\nit on in the past.  Now that was \"tuning and tuning and tuning\"\nthroughout a pass.\n\n> I'll stick with my FT847 and computer control.\n\nI have thought about trying computer control at length for my\nsituation operating portable, and have chosen not to go in that\ndirection.  In any event, I prefer getting on the satellites with the\ngear I have and manually adjusting the radios over not getting\non those satellites at all.  I also have the same station available\naway from home - sometimes very far from home - as I would\nuse here in Phoenix.\n\nAnd, yes - even with the manual tuning I have to do for working\nSSB and CW via satellite, it is fun!\n\n73!\n\n\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n",
